[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually saw the show and the moment in question.  (It's on HBO and probably playing 10x a day.)  I didn't think what he said was racist.  I think OP is misrepresenting what he said.

He said they should pick the best director.  Period.  He said they should not factor diversity into the decision of who would be the director.  He didn't think the diverse director duo were the best qualified.  And it's a competition to pick the best director, not the most diverse director.

Separately, he made the point that all the candidates had an issue with how the black character was portrayed.   You don't need an Asian guy or a woman to realize that a character or storyline might veer toward racist or inappropriate.  They had all come to that conclusion.  That's what he said.

I actually give him credit for including the exchange in the show.  He is an EP of the show and clearly he and Ben have significant input.  a) He didn't have to have Effie Brown in the room and b) he didn't have to include the dialogue between himself and Effie in the show.  As soon as it aired, I thought...he's catching shit for that.

I think if he's racist, he doesn't do a and b above.   He was engaging in reasonable dialogue and I thought her reaction made her seem a bit difficult.[/quote]

i'm curious. are you a woman?what exactly made her seem a bit difficult? how should she have reacted?

Agreed.[/quote][/quote]
